Yeah. That's what I said above. Sagging wouldn't be an issue if SilPoly. It doesn't sag due to water, period. It's slightly less durable but in real world terms, probably doesn't make much of a difference. Basically all niche tent manufacturer's are moving over to it. TarpTent, one of the longest SilNylon holdouts has now abandoned SilNylon in favor of SilPoly (and DCF).
I am hoping Mountain Laurel Designs do as well, because I'd really like a SilPoly SoloMid/DuoMid. But until they do, I am very tempted to buy a TarpTent Preamble. Liteway make a Mid shaped tarp outta SilPoly which would fit the bill, the PyraOmm Solo, but it has a smaller interior than the SoloMid...

About the sagging, what about Silpoly? I've heard it's similar weight but much less prone to sagging? (One of the negatives of silpoly seems to be that because it stays taught, it's easier to rip if you kick a peg by accident)
